Why does the one screw look like it's way undersized? Is that hole drilled oblong to allow some adjustment, same as the front two? My heart's in the mountains, my heart is not here.

Yes, I do that on purpose to allow for the machining differences in the respective guns. The rear tang screw has no slop though to prevent the mount from sliding on the gun. Thanks David! Those engraved rings match up pretty well I think.

David, If you ever see the 4 screw Redfield engraved rings, pick them up! They are very classic looking and of high-quality. I found a few sets while looking through boxes of scope rings at gun shops. You can find them on eBay but they get very expensive. Often $200.

Those engraved Redfield rings sound really cool. Unfortunately the engraving on top of the bases is a little hard to see with the scope mounted. Bill Blair did the engraving. I'll get his info tomorrow. wyo1895 With Savage never say never.
